"The Dignity of Labor": African-American Connections to the Arts and Crafts Movement, 1868-1915

Although virtually no history of African-American involvement in the Arts and Crafts movement has been documented, there is a significant connection between African Americans and the movement through industrial education in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.
